Trump Appoints Nunes to Intelligence Advisory Board

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Devin Nunes, the current CEO of Truth Social and a former U.S. Representative, as the chair of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board. Nunes, a staunch Trump ally and former chair of the House Intelligence Committee, will continue to lead Trump Media & Technology Group while serving on the advisory board. His appointment is influenced by his past role in alleging FBI conspiracy against Trump during the 2016 Russian interference investigation. The advisory board, part of the Executive Office, provides independent assessments of U.S. intelligence agencies' effectiveness. In addition, Trump announced Troy Edgar, an IBM executive, as deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, and Bill White as the U.S. ambassador to Belgium. These appointments highlight Trump's preference for loyalists and experienced supporters in key advisory and diplomatic positions.
